The new version of SoundVolumeView tool (2.00) allows you to easily create shortcut on your desktop that will execute one of the following actions: Mute,Unmute,Mute/Unmute Switch,Disable,Enable,Disable/Enable Switch, Set Default Device (Console, Multimedia, Communications), Increase Volume, Decrease Volume.
For example: You can create a shortcut to disable/enable your speaker or Microphone device, set specific audio device as default, mute / unmute the sound of your Web browser, decrease / increase the sound volume of your media player, and so on.
In order to create the desktop shortcut, simply select the desired items in the main window of SoundVolumeView , and then go to File -> Create Desktop Shortcut and choose the desired action to execute when the shortcut is activated. You can also use the ‘Create Desktop Shortcut’ submenu in the right-click context menu.

After creating a shortcut, you can right-click on it, click ‘Properties’ and then in the ‘Shortcut Key’ field you can select the desired key combination to activate the shortcut.

The new version of OutlookAttachView (3.30) allows you to scan only the attachments of unread Outlook messages. In order to activate this feature, simply select the “Scan only unread messages” check-box inside the ‘Mailbox Scan Options’ window:

There is also new command-line option that can be used together with the above feature: /extractallsetreadflag
The /extractallsetreadflag command extracts Outlook attachments from command-line and then set the read flag, so when this command is executed again, it’ll not extract the same Outlook attachment again (Assuming the the “Scan only unread messages” feature is turned on).

The new version of BulkFileChanger supports the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ date properties of Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel).
You can set the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ fields to specific date/time, and you can also copy the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ fields
into the created/modified time of the file system and vice versa.

Be aware that this feature works on Windows 7 or later, and on 64-bit systems it’s recommended to use the 64-bit version of BulkFileChanger to
ensure that it’ll work properly with the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ properties.

The new version of PingInfoView (2.00) allows you to use TCP ping at the specified port number, instead of the default ICMP ping.
In order to use the new TCP ping feature, simply specify the host name or IP address with TCP port number, for example: 10.0.0.10:21 , 192.168.0.50:80, www.nirsoft.net:443
If you don’t specify a port number , PingInfoView will send ICMP pings, like in the previous versions.

GetNir is a new command-line tool that allows you to easily extract the needed data from NirSoft tools and any other tool that generates output in tab-delimited or comma-delimited format.
GetNir is a console application, it’s executed inside Command-Prompt window and the requested data is sent to stdout.
GetNir receives the tab-delimited or comma-delimited data from stdin, and because most of NirSoft tools allow you to send data in tab-delimited or comma-delimited format (csv) to stdout, the combination of GetNir and other NirSoft tools works very well.

Here’s some examples for what you can do with combination of GetNir and other NirSoft tools:

Get the process name and path of application that uses the most download bandwidth (in the last 5 seconds).
AppNetworkCounter sorts the output so the application with the most “Received Bytes” will be in the first line and then GetNir displays the application name and path only of the first line (/TopLines 1)

Get the process name and path of the application with most active disk-write activity in the last 5 seconds. The output is first sorted by AppReadWriteCounter so
the application with the largest “Write Bytes” is in the first line, and then GetNir takes only the first line (/TopLines 1)
